Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL
>From the desk of Dr. Shola Kadiri.
The Director: Foreign Operations.
Global Assets Securities & Trust Company Plc.
Dear Friend,
I hope my letter may come as a sort of surprise to you hence we have not met
each other before. Anyway, I am Dr. Shola Kadiri, the Director of foreign
Operations of the above firm here in Nigeria. I got your contact through a
business directory in my office when I was searching for a trustworthy
person and after much deliberation, I decided to solicit your interest in
the business I am about to introduce you to.
Furthermore, Last two years and half we had a client from your country who
deposited a consignment containing family treasure and personal values in
our VAULT security company for a safe keeping pending when he will be coming
to pick it up. This we do not know what exactly was the content until we
heard that he died some couple of months ago.
It was after then that I discovered that the content of this consignment is
money to a total sum of $15.5 Million Dollars. Right now the rules and
regulation of our company states that any unclaimed consignment after three
years of its deposit will be declared as the company's property. But I do
not want this to take place hence I have found out it's content.
So I am contacting you to know how interested you will be in this so that we
can work together to get this consignment out from our company's vault
office hence I will detail you with all the information in regarding to how
we will can carry out the deal by presenting you as the Next of Kin as we
can claim you to be his relative,friend or Cousin to the Late engineer who
worked with the National Electric Power Authority ( NEPA). Please kindly get
back to me urgently so that we will discuss more on this issue.
Do not fail to furnish me with your direct contact information, also do
remember that a business of such a high magnitude will come to success only
if it will be kept secret and confidential.
For security reasons, this business will not be disclose to any other person
until my family lawyer and i, obtained all the paper works on your name and
possibly conclude the transaction.
Kindly feel very free to ask me question in any area of this transaction you
do not understand.
I look forward to hearing from you immediately by Sending your reply to me
privately at: drshola@tlen.pl
Best Regards,
Dr. Shola Kadiri.
